Definition
The action of holding something tightly in your hands or arms; gripping or embracing firmly.
Etymology
Present participle of 'clasp,' from Old English and Germanic roots. The '-ing' suffix creates the continuous or habitual form of the action.
Kelly Says
In body language research, clasping—especially when people clasp their hands nervously—reveals emotional states; it's one of those unconscious gestures that therapists and actors study because it exposes what you're really feeling.
